What Does My Stool Test Analysis Test Result Indicate?

Hi, I have found vegetable cells (+) and starch (+) present in my stool examination. Also, the microscopic examination shows there is Protozoa Veg Cyst present. I would appreciate if you could explain the meaning of the analysis and if it is severe case or not. Thanks!

Was the test from a hospital/clinical lab type of test for ova and parasites that is HIGHLY regulated by the FDA for quality? Assuming a real lab then the tests can indicate a parasite infection. Most people have food in their stools and also some evidence of parasites. COULD be giardia if you have GI symptoms.
